They've started running more shuttles to the Metro from my workplace--30 (!) instead of 8 per day. This made me check out Metro and RideOn fares and times.

If I take the bus from the end of my street to the Metro, Metro out to VA, shuttle to work, it would be about 40 minutes one way (according to their probably optimistic schedules) and cost (round trip) about $10.20 during rush hour and $8.30 if I go off-peak in the morning (Metro doesn't seem to have an evening off-peak). Compared with 45-90 minutes one-way and $7-8 in gas (round trip), that compares pretty favourably, given that I'd be taking a car off the road.

If I bike to the Metro, I get some exercise and save another $1.70, though I don't know that I'd save any time. :-)

This definitely bears thinking about...
